Sixpoint Brewing Tap Takeover at The Upper Lip

Today the term Tap Takeover is used way to often when a “beer bar” hosts a brewery for a special event. When a bar that has about 20 taps hosts an event called a Tap Takeover that only features 3 beers from the selected brewery is this truly a Tap Takeover? We think not.

The Upper Lip located above Bailey’s Taproom will host Sixpoint Brewery for a true Tap Takeover on Monday, October 19th. Beginning at 4:00pm when The Upper Lip opens it’s doors all six taps will be dedicated to Sixpoint Brewing and six of its beers, a few that are not very common to see on tap here in Portland.

One beer being featured is Sixpoint’s new wet hop beer, SENSI, that just arrived in Portland only one week ago. Here’s a primer on SENSI from the following Sixpoint video.

Sixpoint Draft List and descriptions:

SENSI Harvest – The Mad Scientists make a pilgrimage to the hop motherland during harvest time to find the ripest, juiciest cones to put into SENSI. This year, Amarillo and Cascade were calling our name. Crack open SENSI 2015 and be transported to the hop fields… it’s Mad Science.

Also don’t forget to go on the newly appointed Westside Ale Trail and walk a few blocks to The Big Legrowlski as this Pearl District killer beer bar hosts Killer Black Velvet Fest as part of Killer Beer Week. Killer Black Velvet Fest features a killer selection of ciders and stouts. The Big Legrowlski is located at 812 NW Couch Street.
